327_1.jpg The computer was described by Heathkit as "Excellent teaching aid for a course in computer electronics - Vividly illustrates the electronic analogies to mathematical problems - Handles problems as complex as fluid flow, damped harmonic motion, and flight of a projectile in a viscous medium"

Computer problems could be 'programmed' by inserting several patch cords into the problem-board sockets and thus linking in chain several built-in components together.
